Teenage dolls with fashionable clothes, boyfriends, dream homes, and accessories were introduced in Britain during the late 1950s as toy manufacturers rushed to meet the demand of the postwar generation. Unlike Barbie in the United States, these dolls often reflect the proportions of their young teenage owners well—although some others are a disorienting mix of nearly grown bodies with baby doll heads. From the earliest "Roddy" dolls of DG Todd to the ever-popular Sindy, as well as Action Man, Britain's licensed version of G.I. Joe, this catalog offers a fascinating account of the development of these dolls, with hundreds of illustrated examples.
